JOURNAL Vol. 27, No. 31. CITY OF COLUMBUS, OHIO, FRIDAY, JANUA RY 6, 1838. REGISTER Vol. 1 , No. 40. JOURNAL AND REGISTER. . MILITARY, j "We have on several occasion g mentioned the martial appearance and excellent discipline of the new volunteer company the Columbus Cuahds. The Guards paraded on the Eighth of January, in honor of the day, and at a testimonial of respect to the Convention of citizens of the State at large who had assembled in our city. An interesting ceremony attended the parade ef the Eighth, which it is our present purpose to notice. ' . It having been signified to the officers of the Guards, that Col. Olmsted had been selected to present to the Company, on behalf of the citizens of Columbus, a beautiful sand of colors, they marched their men to the residence of that gentleman, where the ceremony of presentation took place. , The main point of thedevice upon the flag, is, the American Eagle standing upon a rock, which, with others, we believe, is de signed to represent a portion of the coast of Lake Erie. On the base of the rock which supports the eagle, U inscribed in bold letters the name of the Company Columbus Guards. Above the eagle, and surmounting the remainder of thedevice, is a scroll,contaiiiingthenameof the Stale, number of the Company, &c, with the very appropriate motto Semper Paralus always prepartd. On presenting the colors, Col. Olmsted made the following patriotic and forcible address Gentlemenof tht Columbus Guardt; In the name and behalf of the citizens of the City of Columbus, I prcsmit you this Flug, in testimony of their confidence and rcuurd. In discharging this pleasing duiv, you will not defin it amiss shuuld I tidviTi totfio relation vou have assumed to )our fellow citizens by your as sociation.

I'ln ostensible purport t the u "Mica lion was to dis abuse the bdttors of nu iitsmuj.iioii of theirs ihul he was a WnaneJ 'AViuf," which term thoy had applied to linn in aliusiou to his agency, ns usually rxeni d, in getting tip the late Vauoerdtic inert-iiitf in this town.

We attach no particular importance cither to the writer or the letter, only that the one ia the acknowledged leader of the Administration party in this vicinity, in romptlilio with the Tin-p.m Senator, and the other ia a decoy-light thrown out lo divert and mislead.

From tlie Cincinnati Republican a Van Buren paper. THE CONSERVATIVES OF NEW YORK. We have published to-dav some siirnificant res olutions, adopted at a meeting ol the Conservative nor l ton ot the demncrattc partv, (so called) re cently held in the city of New York. It appears now, from indications in New York, Connecticut, and Virginia, that a lare and respectable portion of the democratic republican party are determined upon a thorough reorganization: and that political toleration, freedom of opinion, and ihe right of peacably assembling, ore lo become the order of the dny. We should very much deplore any move ment calculated to divide the party, or impair the cnuse. II the spirit ol in'olcroncr. nnd proscrip tion, which has characterized the conduct of the radicals, for some time pnBt, should continue to prevail, and there should be no attempt on the part of the aduiiniitrotioii to rebuke it, we see no other alternative for the liberal portion of the democrntic pnrty, than the one being adopted in New York and Connecticut. The Conservatives, or more correctly speaking. ihe Democrntic Republican party," notwithstanding the sneers of the loco focos, ore the strong party of the country. 1 hey constitute a maturity of the old fushioned straight forward democrats of the dnyt and if the abusive and intolerant course ol the Olobe, and its ponderers and puppets, should drive this portion of the supporters of Mr. Van uurpn tnto itn organization ot a intra party, upon the broad and ancient principles of JEKFERS0N1AN DEMOCRACY, a hUCIeUS Will 00 torill- eu, around which the peoplu can and will rally, wnnoui icar oi oicinuon, nnu wunoui com pro ving their democratic principles. The movement in New York is u I ready aecortd- ed in various qunrters; and we ahull not.be sur-pr Bed if it results tn conventions of the people n their respective btutcs, lor the better under standing uf their lent opinions, greater security in the enjoyment of them, and n purification and reorganization of the Democratic Republican party. mm.. iu.i: . -..f., ... i,. 1 MO III IIUIDI'IIUIH, M IklUlllllg I V HID IIIUVCIIMTIII at the East snys 'The Conventions of New York nnd Connecticut will be seconded with a strength nnd extensiveneas of co-operaiion little expected by many, who are rest in if in n conscious security of arbitrary sway, unacquainted with the force ana character ol the currents thai are hurrying silently along bineath the surface uf politico! events.1 We have not been unobservant of the current nlluded to hy the Alndisouian.

Daily Mwrtmr PUBLIC LANDS. The Spy in Washington, mokes the follow in a nteresting statements in relation to this subject: Such are the indications which have been ex hibited, jbus early in the session, to grusp at the national'domain; to open a door lor the most disgraceful and frauduIentpeculiitions,and for petty political considerations, to enrich a lew land gamblers, at the expense uf the nation, by literally casting into their lap the whole uf the public land, the attention of the community should be awakened to this subiect. The people are not aware of the stupendous projects, in reference to these lands, that are in a train nt consummation, The attuck now to be made, appears to be more systematic than any that has preceded it. The policy suggestt a by the resident, is not ol modern Jute. It is onlv new vamped. From the mo ment that Mr. Van Buren came here ns Secretary of State, down to. the present -hour, he has oecu demngoguing, in relation to this mutter. I will now state some circumstances that it is in my power to substantiate. Shortly alter the General came into oflice, Mr. Van Buren, on his arrival iu this city, commenced plnying the demaifOL'ue, with the members of Congress from the new States, During the first session (1U2U-2D) the secretary ot Stute gave a dinner puny lo a number of gentlemen, principally from the West. Mr. Benton was invited, but Iromsome cause, not then exulaiued. he did nut attend. Mr. Van Buren, before his dinner was ready, introduced the subject uf the lands to a Western member of the House, suggesting the necessity for reducing the price ol ihem, to a mere nomimil sum, and pressing the advnniago that the Western people would derive from such nn arrangement. During this conversation, Mr. von Uuren Ireqiieutly expressed his regrets that his friend, Colonel Lion ton, was not present. The honorable member from the West soon perceived the object of the Secretary, and evaded the ques tion; out nt dinner it was revived, whereupon a plain, strnighi-lorwntd, Western member intimated, very distinctly and intelligibly, Hint the people of Ins State were not thus tobepurchaaed. Some time previous. Governor Edwurds. of Illi nois, nnd bronchedtho doctrine that the right uf sou and sovereignly wore indivisible, and therefore thnt the new States held, of right, the lands within their territorial limits. While conversing, Mr. Van Buren relerred to the ground taken by Governor Edwards, and intininted that the position thus nssumed, might be found more tennble thnn was imagined. But on this point, in his late mes-snge, he snyr, "Whether in the new or the old Stales, all note agree that the right of soil to the public lauds lemniiis in the Federal Government. After this dinner, a cnuc is of Western mem bers was held for the purposrt of d'scussing this subject. The members from Ohio did not attend. They were cnlted upon, by some of those who formed the caucus, and efforts were made to bring them into a united action on the subject. Pending these conferences, an honorable member from Illinois urged ti pi n an Ohio gentleman the policy of the several H totes purchasing from the General Government ihe lauds within their respective boundaries, nnd proposed that the price should not exceed six to leu cents pur acre. 'Ihe firmness of Ohio on that occasion tended to the defeat of tho project. Mny it not be that a similar schenio is now under consideration And is it not the dutv of the sentinels on the Watch Tow er, to crv aloud nil it not well? Mr. Van Bureti's hlauol valuation issn exnedi ent for crenting "swnrmsof ollicers to hnrrussour people n ml eat out their substance." These aoprnie-ressroto he electioneering partisans, ana their trade is to he kept up, until they ihnll be prepared to report, and Congress ahnll hove definitely acted on the report; or, in other words, until the next Presidential election shall have been determined. This project ia so palpable, that no man uf ordinary capucity can mistake il. A number of ihe citizens of Texns hive addressed Gen. Liiimir a letter, requesting him to inform them if he will permit his name lo be run for the next Prtsidency of Texns. Mr. Lamar, alter the fashion of our rlignimries here, when solicited to become a candid iic- for high ifiiee,anys, "he dis not ferl himself nt liberty to decline the dtiti sot any station, however high or honorable, to which the voice oi bis fellow citizens may call him."

EDITORS' Tub importance and usefulness of periodical work-i, devoted loGenerul Literature and Science, are acknowledged in all educated and intelligent communities.- ouch publications, when properly conducted, form a sort of neutral ground, whore individuals of all political parties, all religious denominations, all scientific pursuits, and all literary tastes, miy meet together in perfect nmity, and find something each which shall entertain, or amuse, or instruct, or at least beguile nn occasional hour which might else pass heavily or in sorrow. In this country, especially in the newer sections of it, tho excitements of party, the turmoil of change, and the incentives to gain, so engross the attention and employ the time ol tho mass of the icople, that clforts to create nn intcreit in I jIIcs-Lottrcs aro often entirely overlooked, or regarded with tho most discouraging indifference. Notw'uhstnnding, however, the force of this fact, and tho admonitions of experience, the undersigned have consented to take upon themselves tho EJito-rial supervision of a Periodical to bo devoted to tho intercuts of General Literature nnd Science. They djum tho time auspicious for tho commencement of such an undertaking, and regurd the point fixed upon for the place of publication, as affording facilities for rendering such a work interesting and useful, unsurpassed by llioso nl but lew cities in the Union. Of tho various Literary Periodicals which liavo, during the pust ten or twelve years, b.-cn projected and for a tiino pub lished in tho West, not ono now survives. Thoy havo all, after a strugglo of a very few years, been compelled to undergo somochango in which their original char acter was lost, or died outright of a fit of nnn-iKilronuge. Tho Wost is therefore wchouta literary Representative, in our nationnl Republic of Letters. It is true wo have h.;ro nnd thcro well-conducted weekly papers of literary pretensions: but they are small nnd of limitoj circulation, and from necessity employ but a very little um'Hint of tho talent nf this region. A lurgo. respected, and cntlitnblo reflector of tho literary light of tho West, wo hnvo not; ami it is witn a view ni supplying this deficiency, that tho present work has been projected. In thnt immense regun of country comprised within tho stales ol Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illi nois, Missouri and Michigan, Reltemn, So- met und Poliiici, hnvo their appropriate ud- vocntcsandoxpoundcrs; but tho Ucllci-Lcl- re are without any sufficient channel, thro' which their drums upon public attention can bo made known, nnd by which they limy manifest their tranquillizing, nnd clc-v ming, and refining influoiiccj. This is nut so in other sections of tho Union it ought not so to bn here: and if the enter priso in which wo aro ab.iut to embark, roceivo from tho western community that consideration to which it seems to us it is entitled, the West, as well as tho So;iih and tho ICust, shall soon have a rcpresuu-tutivo of its literary character. In reflecting upon tho speedy mortality which has attt'iidcd all lilnrnrv attempts in this part of tho United Sintus, whero men of almost universally acknowledged cdiiiMtion, acquirements and tnlen's, havo most signally failed in their efforts to create and supp'y a taste nnd an nppctiio for periodical li era lire, wo aro forced to ono of two conclusions: oithor thnt tho People of tho West lack iho culiivatcd taste, general intelligence, and public spir-i', to upprcciuto and sustain a wholc,imo and nn entertaining litern'ure; or, that tho works which hnvo been a!temp:ed horo, have not been sullicion.ly various iu char actor, to suit tho diversified tastes and wants of a coimn inity so he progenenusly ciins ilttloil as is iho population of the Slates nbovo-mimed. Perhaps both of tluso causes originally contribute d to tlu ill-success of periodicals among us. Tlu former, however, c.innot with iiislico bo Slid to exist now. Wo therefore adopt tho littler: and wo proposo to supply, what is undeniably n ih-siilcrntutn now in the West, a Literary Periodical of ample size, and cxtensivo enough in its rnngo of subjects, to maku it a source of entertainment, instruction and general information, to all daises of cultivated readers. Tho hotter to effect this object, tho New Magazine will eompriso, in a Idition tn tlie us. ml Original Contents of aiir-'.t w irks, a Select Miscellany of Gene nil Lilcnluro.

The Critical department of The Hespe rian, will bo somewhat mora lull than is common to magazines in this country: and to all litorary aspirants who may appear before the tribunal of tho Editors, they will endeavor, without fear or favor, to mete out "equal and exact jinHce. Though not belonging to tho- carpm;; mortnlswhoaro lorever judging American productions by European standards, and condemning the etlorts ol beginners most ly b 'cause thoy full short ol the excellen ces ol practiced pens nnd matured inte lecls, yet, they claim very little fellow ship with those editorial scribis who are so very amiablo as to behold, in every fledgling poe a iter who transmits them copies of his verses in morocco and gold, a young Milton or Pope, and a young Scott or Bulwer in cvory aspirant who manages tooiscnnrge iiisniKsianu ana pnier-u rawer ol a couple ol volumes notion per year. 1 here is m ich and great literary talent in our country, winch deserves more en courngemcnt and consideration than it generally receives: there is also a great deal of pretension, which is indebted for all the success with which it meets, to tho impudence of its possessors, and tho over-amiable disposition alluded lo above. To give encouragement to that, by pointing out its beauties and dwelling upon its mer its, and to dispense justice tn this, by de noting its defects and animadverting upon its uuworthincss, will be considered an im portant rfu'tj and as an ovidenco that it will bo Icarlusslvond impartially dischars ed, one of the Editors points to his past connection with periodical literature.

MILITARY, j "We have on several occasion g mentioned the martial appearance and excellent discipline of the new volunteer company the Columbus Cuahds. The Guards paraded on the Eighth of January, in honor of the day, and at a testimonial of respect to the Convention of citizens of the State at large who had assembled in our city. An interesting ceremony attended the parade ef the Eighth, which it is our present purpose to notice. ' . It having been signified to the officers of the Guards, that Col. Olmsted had been selected to present to the Company, on behalf of the citizens of Columbus, a beautiful sand of colors, they marched their men to the residence of that gentleman, where the ceremony of presentation took place. , The main point of thedevice upon the flag, is, the American Eagle standing upon a rock, which, with others, we believe, is de signed to represent a portion of the coast of Lake Erie. On the base of the rock which supports the eagle, U inscribed in bold letters the name of the Company Columbus Guards. Above the eagle, and surmounting the remainder of thedevice, is a scroll,contaiiiingthenameof the Stale, number of the Company, &c, with the very appropriate motto Semper Paralus always prepartd. On presenting the colors, Col. Olmsted made the following patriotic and forcible address Gentlemenof tht Columbus Guardt; In the name and behalf of the citizens of the City of Columbus, I prcsmit you this Flug, in testimony of their confidence and rcuurd. In discharging this pleasing duiv, you will not defin it amiss shuuld I tidviTi totfio relation vou have assumed to )our fellow citizens by your as sociation.

In Ins defence, hu makes use ol a fresh decociioii of the rant and fustian which he is wont to deal out in the editorials ol the Advertiser, such as the prirt of pork, ufoaition," batdt, &c., and wiilinl he therein elunos to be an especial democrat of the Van Uuren species. We attach no particular importance cither to the writer or the letter, only that the one ia the acknowledged leader of the Administration party in this vicinity, in romptlilio with the Tin-p.m Senator, and the other ia a decoy-light thrown out lo divert and mislead.

From tlie Cincinnati Republican a Van Buren paper. THE CONSERVATIVES OF NEW YORK. We have published to-dav some siirnificant res olutions, adopted at a meeting ol the Conservative nor l ton ot the demncrattc partv, (so called) re cently held in the city of New York. It appears now, from indications in New York, Connecticut, and Virginia, that a lare and respectable portion of the democratic republican party are determined upon a thorough reorganization: and that political toleration, freedom of opinion, and ihe right of peacably assembling, ore lo become the order of the dny. We should very much deplore any move ment calculated to divide the party, or impair the cnuse. II the spirit ol in'olcroncr. nnd proscrip tion, which has characterized the conduct of the radicals, for some time pnBt, should continue to prevail, and there should be no attempt on the part of the aduiiniitrotioii to rebuke it, we see no other alternative for the liberal portion of the democrntic pnrty, than the one being adopted in New York and Connecticut. The Conservatives, or more correctly speaking. ihe Democrntic Republican party," notwithstanding the sneers of the loco focos, ore the strong party of the country. 1 hey constitute a maturity of the old fushioned straight forward democrats of the dnyt and if the abusive and intolerant course ol the Olobe, and its ponderers and puppets, should drive this portion of the supporters of Mr. Van uurpn tnto itn organization ot a intra party, upon the broad and ancient principles of JEKFERS0N1AN DEMOCRACY, a hUCIeUS Will 00 torill- eu, around which the peoplu can and will rally, wnnoui icar oi oicinuon, nnu wunoui com pro ving their democratic principles. The movement in New York is u I ready aecortd- ed in various qunrters; and we ahull not.be sur-pr Bed if it results tn conventions of the people n their respective btutcs, lor the better under standing uf their lent opinions, greater security in the enjoyment of them, and n purification and reorganization of the Democratic Republican party. mm.. iu.i: . -..f., ... i,. 1 MO III IIUIDI'IIUIH, M IklUlllllg I V HID IIIUVCIIMTIII at the East snys 'The Conventions of New York nnd Connecticut will be seconded with a strength nnd extensiveneas of co-operaiion little expected by many, who are rest in if in n conscious security of arbitrary sway, unacquainted with the force ana character ol the currents thai are hurrying silently along bineath the surface uf politico! events.1 We have not been unobservant of the current nlluded to hy the Alndisouian.

Daily Mwrtmr PUBLIC LANDS. The Spy in Washington, mokes the follow in a nteresting statements in relation to this subject: Such are the indications which have been ex hibited, jbus early in the session, to grusp at the national'domain; to open a door lor the most disgraceful and frauduIentpeculiitions,and for petty political considerations, to enrich a lew land gamblers, at the expense uf the nation, by literally casting into their lap the whole uf the public land, the attention of the community should be awakened to this subiect. The people are not aware of the stupendous projects, in reference to these lands, that are in a train nt consummation, The attuck now to be made, appears to be more systematic than any that has preceded it. The policy suggestt a by the resident, is not ol modern Jute. It is onlv new vamped. From the mo ment that Mr. Van Buren came here ns Secretary of State, down to. the present -hour, he has oecu demngoguing, in relation to this mutter. I will now state some circumstances that it is in my power to substantiate. Shortly alter the General came into oflice, Mr. Van Buren, on his arrival iu this city, commenced plnying the demaifOL'ue, with the members of Congress from the new States, During the first session (1U2U-2D) the secretary ot Stute gave a dinner puny lo a number of gentlemen, principally from the West. Mr. Benton was invited, but Iromsome cause, not then exulaiued. he did nut attend. Mr. Van Buren, before his dinner was ready, introduced the subject uf the lands to a Western member of the House, suggesting the necessity for reducing the price ol ihem, to a mere nomimil sum, and pressing the advnniago that the Western people would derive from such nn arrangement. During this conversation, Mr. von Uuren Ireqiieutly expressed his regrets that his friend, Colonel Lion ton, was not present. The honorable member from the West soon perceived the object of the Secretary, and evaded the ques tion; out nt dinner it was revived, whereupon a plain, strnighi-lorwntd, Western member intimated, very distinctly and intelligibly, Hint the people of Ins State were not thus tobepurchaaed. Some time previous. Governor Edwurds. of Illi nois, nnd bronchedtho doctrine that the right uf sou and sovereignly wore indivisible, and therefore thnt the new States held, of right, the lands within their territorial limits. While conversing, Mr. Van Buren relerred to the ground taken by Governor Edwards, and intininted that the position thus nssumed, might be found more tennble thnn was imagined. But on this point, in his late mes-snge, he snyr, "Whether in the new or the old Stales, all note agree that the right of soil to the public lauds lemniiis in the Federal Government. After this dinner, a cnuc is of Western mem bers was held for the purposrt of d'scussing this subject. The members from Ohio did not attend. They were cnlted upon, by some of those who formed the caucus, and efforts were made to bring them into a united action on the subject. Pending these conferences, an honorable member from Illinois urged ti pi n an Ohio gentleman the policy of the several H totes purchasing from the General Government ihe lauds within their respective boundaries, nnd proposed that the price should not exceed six to leu cents pur acre. 'Ihe firmness of Ohio on that occasion tended to the defeat of tho project. Mny it not be that a similar schenio is now under consideration And is it not the dutv of the sentinels on the Watch Tow er, to crv aloud nil it not well? Mr. Van Bureti's hlauol valuation issn exnedi ent for crenting "swnrmsof ollicers to hnrrussour people n ml eat out their substance." These aoprnie-ressroto he electioneering partisans, ana their trade is to he kept up, until they ihnll be prepared to report, and Congress ahnll hove definitely acted on the report; or, in other words, until the next Presidential election shall have been determined. This project ia so palpable, that no man uf ordinary capucity can mistake il. A number of ihe citizens of Texns hive addressed Gen. Liiimir a letter, requesting him to inform them if he will permit his name lo be run for the next Prtsidency of Texns. Mr. Lamar, alter the fashion of our rlignimries here, when solicited to become a candid iic- for high ifiiee,anys, "he dis not ferl himself nt liberty to decline the dtiti sot any station, however high or honorable, to which the voice oi bis fellow citizens may call him."

EDITORS' Tub importance and usefulness of periodical work-i, devoted loGenerul Literature and Science, are acknowledged in all educated and intelligent communities.- ouch publications, when properly conducted, form a sort of neutral ground, whore individuals of all political parties, all religious denominations, all scientific pursuits, and all literary tastes, miy meet together in perfect nmity, and find something each which shall entertain, or amuse, or instruct, or at least beguile nn occasional hour which might else pass heavily or in sorrow. In this country, especially in the newer sections of it, tho excitements of party, the turmoil of change, and the incentives to gain, so engross the attention and employ the time ol tho mass of the icople, that clforts to create nn intcreit in I jIIcs-Lottrcs aro often entirely overlooked, or regarded with tho most discouraging indifference. Notw'uhstnnding, however, the force of this fact, and tho admonitions of experience, the undersigned have consented to take upon themselves tho EJito-rial supervision of a Periodical to bo devoted to tho intercuts of General Literature nnd Science. They djum tho time auspicious for tho commencement of such an undertaking, and regurd the point fixed upon for the place of publication, as affording facilities for rendering such a work interesting and useful, unsurpassed by llioso nl but lew cities in the Union. Of tho various Literary Periodicals which liavo, during the pust ten or twelve years, b.-cn projected and for a tiino pub lished in tho West, not ono now survives. Thoy havo all, after a strugglo of a very few years, been compelled to undergo somochango in which their original char acter was lost, or died outright of a fit of nnn-iKilronuge. Tho Wost is therefore wchouta literary Representative, in our nationnl Republic of Letters. It is true wo have h.;ro nnd thcro well-conducted weekly papers of literary pretensions: but they are small nnd of limitoj circulation, and from necessity employ but a very little um'Hint of tho talent nf this region. A lurgo. respected, and cntlitnblo reflector of tho literary light of tho West, wo hnvo not; ami it is witn a view ni supplying this deficiency, that tho present work has been projected. In thnt immense regun of country comprised within tho stales ol Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illi nois, Missouri and Michigan, Reltemn, So- met und Poliiici, hnvo their appropriate ud- vocntcsandoxpoundcrs; but tho Ucllci-Lcl- re are without any sufficient channel, thro' which their drums upon public attention can bo made known, nnd by which they limy manifest their tranquillizing, nnd clc-v ming, and refining influoiiccj. This is nut so in other sections of tho Union it ought not so to bn here: and if the enter priso in which wo aro ab.iut to embark, roceivo from tho western community that consideration to which it seems to us it is entitled, the West, as well as tho So;iih and tho ICust, shall soon have a rcpresuu-tutivo of its literary character. In reflecting upon tho speedy mortality which has attt'iidcd all lilnrnrv attempts in this part of tho United Sintus, whero men of almost universally acknowledged cdiiiMtion, acquirements and tnlen's, havo most signally failed in their efforts to create and supp'y a taste nnd an nppctiio for periodical li era lire, wo aro forced to ono of two conclusions: oithor thnt tho People of tho West lack iho culiivatcd taste, general intelligence, and public spir-i', to upprcciuto and sustain a wholc,imo and nn entertaining litern'ure; or, that tho works which hnvo been a!temp:ed horo, have not been sullicion.ly various iu char actor, to suit tho diversified tastes and wants of a coimn inity so he progenenusly ciins ilttloil as is iho population of the Slates nbovo-mimed. Perhaps both of tluso causes originally contribute d to tlu ill-success of periodicals among us. Tlu former, however, c.innot with iiislico bo Slid to exist now. Wo therefore adopt tho littler: and wo proposo to supply, what is undeniably n ih-siilcrntutn now in the West, a Literary Periodical of ample size, and cxtensivo enough in its rnngo of subjects, to maku it a source of entertainment, instruction and general information, to all daises of cultivated readers. Tho hotter to effect this object, tho New Magazine will eompriso, in a Idition tn tlie us. ml Original Contents of aiir-'.t w irks, a Select Miscellany of Gene nil Lilcnluro.

The Critical department of The Hespe rian, will bo somewhat mora lull than is common to magazines in this country: and to all litorary aspirants who may appear before the tribunal of tho Editors, they will endeavor, without fear or favor, to mete out "equal and exact jinHce. Though not belonging to tho- carpm;; mortnlswhoaro lorever judging American productions by European standards, and condemning the etlorts ol beginners most ly b 'cause thoy full short ol the excellen ces ol practiced pens nnd matured inte lecls, yet, they claim very little fellow ship with those editorial scribis who are so very amiablo as to behold, in every fledgling poe a iter who transmits them copies of his verses in morocco and gold, a young Milton or Pope, and a young Scott or Bulwer in cvory aspirant who manages tooiscnnrge iiisniKsianu ana pnier-u rawer ol a couple ol volumes notion per year. 1 here is m ich and great literary talent in our country, winch deserves more en courngemcnt and consideration than it generally receives: there is also a great deal of pretension, which is indebted for all the success with which it meets, to tho impudence of its possessors, and tho over-amiable disposition alluded lo above. To give encouragement to that, by pointing out its beauties and dwelling upon its mer its, and to dispense justice tn this, by de noting its defects and animadverting upon its uuworthincss, will be considered an im portant rfu'tj and as an ovidenco that it will bo Icarlusslvond impartially dischars ed, one of the Editors points to his past connection with periodical literature.
